Claire and Peter and their team have created a truly 5-star lodge in one of the most beautiful valleys near Abel Tasman. We stayed in one of the bush chalets, a one-room cabin on their property. The room was perfect in every way. We also had two wonderful four-course dinners cooked by Claire and served family-style - a great way...

Fabulous food! Our Chef, Clare, co-owner with her husband, Peter, prepared one of the best meals we had in New Zealand . You must not miss a chance to dine with your fellow guests at communal tables. And, of course, the local wines are a must.
All this and minutes from Nelson and Kahurangi.
Another highlight of our trip was...

The Resurgence was a big disappointment. The room we paid extra to "upgrade" was tired, hot and uncomfortable. Furnishings and art work were charmless. The ceiling fan in the living area was noisy, wobbly and did little to move the air. Bath tub was in a crawl space away from the main bathroom. Breakfast was us stumbling around in an...

We were genuinely bemused when John & Lisa checked out, we asked if we had done anything wrong and they assured us we had not, John just wanted to go fishing and an opening had arisen at a local fishing lodge. We immediately contacted their agents and asked if they had said something to them, they had not. On check-in...

Stayed in one of the four bush chalets, which was well equipped, very well presented and afforded lovely views of the native bush. A BBQ is also available for use. Breakfast can be taken in the chalet (self catered) or the main house where you can also have evening meals preceded by drinks and nibbles on the terrace, which was...

At first sight my husband and I were quite disappointed with The Resurgence, as we stayed in 2 really great and luxurious lodge before going there, but it end up being a really nice experience.
The lodge doesn't has a big staff but they seem to be doing ok, the only problem was the food that we didn't appreciate at...

Hi Thiase
I am glad that you enjoyed your honeymoon stay.
Please note that the other 2 lodges you are comparing us with cost $1900 rather than $695! It is not surprising then, that they have a serious chef and a more formal style. We are a friendly team of 3. We serve a farm-to-table 4-course dinner, where guests from...

We stayed at the Resurgence for 2 nights. We had a wonderful welcome by the owners into the hotel and into our chalet that was well equipped and comfortable. We had our first dinner in their restaurant. The meal was good but not exceptional and quite expensive in our opinion.
The owners were very warm and welcoming and had good...

Stayed in the Lonely Lake Bush Lodge for 3 nights. Absolutely private with fantastic views. Very well kitted out. Also had dinner in the main house on the first night - which was a great international dinner party hosted by Peter, Clare and Sam - well worth doing. There cannot be a better place to BBQ if you like Bush...

We wanted a one night stay at the Resurgence, advertised at NZ$199 pppn, including dinner but were told by the owner they had only a 2 night vacancy. I expressed my regret as we only wanted one night. They came back to me saying they could now offer one night. However I was charged NZ $725 for both of us...

We recommend a 2-night minimum stay to enjoy our 50-acre property and Abel Tasman activities. Our one-night product is $775 for a run of house room with full breakfast, aperitifs and dinner. Wine with dinner is an extra and guests are shown a wine list with prices during pre-dinner drinks.
Only our packages are priced "pppn" and I think this...

Lovely secluded accommodation with very attentive owners. Rooms of good standard and meals enjoyable. Pre dinner drinks and canapés with other guests a nice way to start the evening. 20 mins drive from the main centre for Able Tasman Activities.

We stayed 3 nights in one of the bush lodges and we couldn’t have been happier. It was our own private cabin with beautiful views off the deck and a full kitchen stocked with breakfast items and coffee, tea and snacks. Every detail for comfort and convenience was considered, from good storage for clothing and luggage, to inside and outside...
